Morningside Ministries at The Meadows

My mother was a resident at The Meadows for nearly four years. The only reason she left was to be closer to family as her needs in care increased. Her time there was wonderful in every respect. Her room was spacious and had a nice outdoor patio area shaded by mature landscaping. The staff was incredible! Very caring people. Long time staff members truly care about the residents. The activities directory works hard to provide fun and creative events that brings the residents together. Mom enjoyed the exercise classes, the social activities, the dining and the community of fellow residents. She also enjoyed the relaxed, casual atmosphere of the facility. It's not fancy, but it's very clean and well maintained.

We're settled at the Morningside Ministries at The Meadows. It's multi-leveled care, and we're in the independent living. It's a very nice facility, and the food is wonderful. We're pleased with our two-bed/two-bath apartment, which is exactly what we needed. We're just very pleased with our general situation. We have book groups, movies, and trips into and out of town. The staff is very cordial and caring. Everybody's very friendly, and they don’t have trouble remembering our names.

Morningside Ministries is not as upscale as other facilities. The staff seemed very nice, but I don't expect anything nasty on a guided tour. They're there to sell you the place. The rooms were quite adequate. They're not as fancy, but they were more than adequate in size and in their physical layout. Considering the price, I was very well impressed with them because they were not as expensive as other ones. They had transportation, they had trips planned, they go to shopping trips, entertainment trips, and have games within the facility. They did have things planned for the people there. What I like best about them is the value you get for your money. They weren't as luxurious as some, but they also didn't cost as much. They were very nice. The dining facility was very impressive. Whether they gave us a special meal or not, I don't know. But they said no, that's a normal meal. And it was very nice.
